[Astro] Improve performance for large text webpages

Heyo, I'm a simple hobbyist working on a passion project at [https://xiv.quest/](https://xiv.quest/) . The gist is, it's *all* of the dialogue in an MMORPG. It's still in progress, but at this time, it's at more than 1.7 million words and \~17MB, and some people are struggling to load it. I always knew this day would come as I've kept adding to it, but figured I'd cross that bridge when I got to it, and... welp. So I'm looking for solutions. The obvious one would be to split it into multiple pages, or to only load portions of the content at a time, but the whole point is to have it on one webpage so that it can be easily ctrl+F searched, and I really want to avoid compromising the simplicity of that goal if possible. I'm working on minifying the text right now for the 9% file size or so that looks like it'll net me. So my next thought is, would AJAX loading the content help at all? Or are there other solutions I've never heard of? Any perspective would be helpful! \--- **Edit:** Thank you everybody for all the feedback! I promise I'm reading and considering every reply. Enabling gzip should already be a big help, and I've clearly got some more hands-on options to look into in the near future. 🙏
